This is actually based on what I do, a simple lowly line cook. Boy do we get lots of dangerous things to play with so I figured a "magical chef" would be perfect!

Able to command an army of chef knives, they may be small but chef knives are incredibly sharp and a wound suffered by one takes quite a while to heal. Custom armored bracers lined with cutlery and on the right arm a shield, crafted from a finely...rounded... pot lid. The uniform is your typical chef apparel with some fine embroidery and battle wounds... /cough.

Recently I bought a taiyaki pan for home (highly recommend one, homemade taiyaki is very easy to make and it's delicious) so I thought what would be better for a special attack than FLAMING TAIYAKI...of DOOM... witchy doom, doom to the witches.
I'm sorry. >.>

those knives are dangerous! i worked supervising a seafood dept for a while and cut myself once while cleaning a fish...still have the scar! and i did not clean it properly and it got infected. So i can see how this would be a good weapon

"You can call me DL… I felt my need was so urgent that when Kyubey showed up my wish was blurted out spur of the moment and has resulted in another soul sharing my body (It was rash, selfish and not well thought out my other would say)… I have no regrets and I want to succeed, my other half doesn't feel the same and, at times, still wishes for our end. But I'm working on that… you would be correct in saying that during some of my periods of withdrawn silence i am at war with myself…"

I chose to try and have shades of grey as my characters main colour scheme as I believe there's very little that's black and white in the world and to link in with her magical ability of manipulating light and shadows. After her wish was granted one of her eyes changed colour and now she has to wear a contact lens around her parents and friends.

She's not physically strong so her fighting style revolves around stealth and speed as she's quick and agile. Her weapon became two Sais (one of the light, one of the shadows) their differences represent the contrast and contribution of the two souls that reside within her. The separation of colour within her soul gem also reveals this…
When in her Magical Girl form the soul gem becomes an earring in the style of half a yin-yang symbol, it may darken or lighten depending on who's more in control.

Ok, so I just came here to look at everybody's entries, and some look really damn amazing. I myself haven't seen this anime, but am considering watching it when I get the time to finish Shakugan no Shana's final season.... and your character's wish just made me burst out in laughter, you've got my vote bud

Name: Akita Sakura
Where her soul gem is located: The middle of the bow?
Colour of soul gem: Black
Hair Colour: Grey (sorry i didn't colour it:C)
Age: 12 (as expected)
Story: Her entire family is on the verge of death due to some inherited disease which Sakura did not inherit. Sakura chances upon Kyuubey on her way to the hospital to visit her family. Without thinking, she wished for her to be able to "Protect her family and save them from ANYTHING.".

Basic Information:Name: EveAge: 18height: 145cm [4'9'']Wish:"To be able to free myself from all my insecurities, and just live my life without constant worrying and asking of what if..."
Eve is cheerful, gentle and bit childish in nature, quite similiar to Madoka. Although constantly smiling, she is a bit of a crybaby, and constanly worries over things. She isn't that sure of her future..Loves company more than anything. If Madoka haven't had already made a wish about saving anyone from suffer, Eve would do it too.
Her dress is bit like a night dress, that's why her shoes are also like night slippers [are in sketches, couldn't include them in the picture]
She has small wings on her back, so she can fly. [not really good at it yet.. >//~//<]

Weapons, etc. [super sketchy, I might do part of these again and also draw her witch form later]

So yes..her main weapon is those balls in her hair! The attack consist of gathering energy, then by the clap of her hands, they multiply and can be targeted towards enemy [when they explode and dazzle the opponent] or can be used as a barrier to dodge attacks. When balls multiply, they are presented as a ball-shaped light of black and pink [as in her dress~]

Then her second one is..

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide

Yes, it's a Kyubee plushie! As a fan of QB and plushies [I seriously think he's cute, I even have that ICHIBAN KUJI 1:1 plushie of him!~] I wanted to include him some way, and I thought why not make him as a weapon? When you throw this plushy towards your enemy, it swells and gets heavier, and thus suffocating the one you are facing. Well, although Kyubee is cute, he is quite scary too!

Might add some more drawings and things here later on~ I hope you like this ^-^ If you have some questions about my puella magi self, don't hesitate to ask!~

I just started watching the show recently and I am loving it.
Here's my entry, but the funny thing is the story:

Once upon a time, there lived this girl, Kyoko (19), who could not keep any job. So desperate she was that she attended an audition for a new TV show, even though camera's freaked her out. Somehow she managed to get the part, because the casting director said something about how she resembled his deceased cousin when she was eating a hamburger during the lunch break. Anyhow, the show was absolutely ridiculous. It was about a girl with magical powers that she used to repeatedly rescue Mino, an otaku boy who kept being target of an extraterrestrial queen who wanted to marry him and take him to her planet. Her main weapon is a super beam she shoots out her mouth, but if she runs out of energy, she must recharge by kissing the otaku guy.

The audience of the show mainly are otaku males from 18 to 25 years, so of course there is a lot of fanservice.

This was so ridiculous that she almost quit the job, but to her surprise, one day after recording, an alien craft landed directly on set and tried to kidnap the guy who played the part of Mino, and Kyoko discovers that she can really shoot beams out her mouth. No it is up to her to save Mino, but no worries, she has read her script and will surely succeed, right?

To be honest, I've never had much faith in my artistic ability, so I never did learn how to draw. However, after learning of this competition I thought I'd give it a go. First off, I started off with "If I could have any wish, what would it be?". Then I was reminded of how when I was at school, being the middle of 3 brothers sucked. I was either "Aidan's brother" or "Thomas' brother", never me. So my wish would probably have been to be noticed.

Then, keeping up with the spirit of Madoka Magica, I thought of how that wish could be wrong. Yes, I could be "noticed" in that I might become popular, but what if I also became noticed for the wrong reasons? Like maybe I'd become a target in the street if someone was out there with the intent of mugging someone, where I normally wouldn't have been a target. I'd imagine that due to me being noticed a lot, it might make my family scared or ashamed of me, so they would eventually get to the point of disowning me.

Then, "What abilities might I gain from it?". That one is simple - if I wanted to be notice, what if I could notice things more? So under my eye patch I have a special eye - the Reticle Eye. Using its power, I can create six "Crosshair Targets" that will appear in places of my choosing - and my bullets will always find their way to them (unless intercepted in some way). Also, with improved vision, I can scan a large area and see Grief Seeds hatching before most Magical Girls/Boys would discover them. Having an ocular ability also ties into how in real life, I have a condition called "Ocular Motor Apraxia" which means that the messages between my eyes and brain can get confused (the only noticeable sign is that if I move my head one way, my eyes move the opposite). It's important that my eyepatch is covering my right eye, as a few years ago I was stung by a jellyfish just 1cm above my right eye - if it had been a centimetre lower, I would be blind in that eye.

The use of guns is also a no brainer. Whenever I play FPS games, I'm almost always a sniper. My ability and the rifle on my back relates to that. My use of pistols is for more close combat orientated fighting; my reliance being on a weapon such a gun (as opposed to a sword, spear etc) reflects the fact that I'm not a very physical-orientated person.

As for the clothes, I've noticed that a lot of the series' Magical Girls wear rather formal attire. Girls are lucky in that they have a lot of options when it comes to clothes, whereas guys don't have as much. I was thinking of what I could do to try and match that - so obviously I had a cape. The use of a waistcoat only came to me recently; as they look very formal, yet you can be very mobile while wearing one, which would be useful in battle. As for the hat? Hats are awesome and everyone should wear a hat.

(Also, my colouring job looks a lot better on paper than it does scanned)
